6. Патриотизм в наше время выставляется поводом оправдания и всякого общественного зла и личной подлости. Человеку внушают, чтобы он ради блага своей страны отказался от всего, что делает страну его достойной уважения: ради патриотизма человек должен подчиниться всякому постыдному делу, которое, развращая частных людей, ведет к погибели весь народ.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Life Thoughts, gathered from the extemporaneous discourses of Henry Ward Beecher, by one of his congregation [Edna Dean Proctor] (Boston: Phillips, Sampson, 1858), pp. 135-136.
Beecher's three sentences, closely translated. "An argument for all public wrong, and all private meanness" becomes "the pretext and justification of every public evil and personal baseness"; "every thing that makes the land honorable" becomes "everything that makes his country worthy of respect"; "the ruin of the state through disgrace of the citizen" becomes "which, corrupting private people, leads the whole people to ruin". Tolstoy stops before Beecher's next sentence, "There never was a man so unpatriotic as Christ was". The Jubilee index identifies the name rightly (Henry Ward Beecher, 1813-1887). Beecher's own words are printed here.
Translation note. Tolstoy kept the author’s words closely, so the author’s own English is printed here (ruling 1); Tolstoy’s Russian, translated, is in the source panel.
